They say that opposites attract.

But what happens when the attraction fades?

What happens when being opposite starts to be a problem?

What then?

Do we just discard all feelings and make it seem like nothing even mattered?

It’s easy to think telling someone you don’t feel the same anymore won’t hurt. But when the time comes to spit out the words, all you can do is hold back your tears and bite your lip. You look at them and hope they’ll get it. You hope that maybe they feel the same so it eases the blow. But they just stare at you, slightly smiling, hoping everything is going to be all right. There is a point where tears flood your eyes and begin streaming down your face. That’s when their heart breaks. That’s when their tears form. That’s when your chest begins to cave. When guilt rushes over you and you wish everything could just go back to how they were. You know that deep in your heart, you still love them. That you want only them with you. That being with them is the only thing you know.

Then why do you feel this way… Why do your feelings continue to fade when you know that loving them is what you really need.

You still insist on distancing yourself from them. Hurting them, hurting you, hurting everything that could have been. Hurting everything that once was. The space that has grown between you both keeps growing. Their heart remains the same, but yours has grown cold and emotionless.

They say that opposites attract…

But for how long?
